    Megadrive Crayon Shin Chan: Arashi o Yobu Enji

    Many Japanese games are accessible to westerners, but accessibility doesn’t always equate to being worthwhile. Crayon Shin Chan is an example of a game left in Japan for good reason, as it doesn’t appeal to non-Japanese audiences and wouldn’t really be worth playing if it did. Check out our full review on this quirky yet dull platformer.

    Never cared much about Crayon Shin-Chan, as I was put off by the art style and didn't quite "get" the humor of the dub (by which I mean to say, I thought it was immensely dumb ). I checked out the game once out of curiosity and switched it off again after five minutes because it already struck me as uninteresting and dull.

    So kudos to Phosis for taking on that game. Nice read

    I've been becoming a fan of Crayon Shin-Chan games thanks to the GBA and NDS releases.
    This review of the Mega Drive game seems like it is probably spot-on, but I still want to give it a play just to mess around with another unusually goofy game.

    The thing is, the game is completely mediocre in every possible way. But I didn't actually hate it; I'm sure it would have been fun and cute for Japanese kids, or fans of Crayon Shin Chan, but there isn't much to do in it at all.

    I had no idea there was a Shin Chan game for the MD. I remember watching this on Fox Kids, during my hour lunch break at college; the game looks like it's pretty faithful to the cartoon, visually at least.
